Election Time!As the U.S .Presidential Campaign shapes up and candidates are trying to convince the voters that they are the best hope for positive change in America, so to it is time for PGSA to be sure it has a full slate of candidates for its upcoming November 2012 election.

PGSA can only grow and get better with fresh ideas and suggestions from its members and this could be your chance to put them out there and make them happen.
